A single soul, seated alone
Stares unseeing, her thoughts unknown
Eyes devoid of joy or grief
Once filled with passion, now blank and grim
Leaves rustle as a slight wind blows
Whispering words, provoking thoughts
And from withing the endless depths
Stir sentiments that were at rest
And that single soul, seated alone
Stares with sorrow, thoughts still unknown
Eyes reflecting anguish and aches
Once clear and bright, now vacant and drained
She sees now not our present time
But mem'ries that she hid inside
Spectres return, aroused again
Forgotten feelings flood her veins
For this soul was once not alone
Long ago, she shared her song
Many a minute was spent in this vale
Where, with another, they wove their tale
A voice cries out, tears break forth
Yet no one hears and no one comes
The one she longs for left long ago
His life taken by an orc arrow
Now slowly, up rises the moon
Clear light fighting the sinister gloom
Awakening that seed of hope
Despair had stopped from taking root
A wave of peace speeds through her core
Calming the torrents, soothing the storms
Putting to rest all old regrets
Reminding instead of the faith she must have
A single soul, seated alone
Smiles with eyes that shine with hope
Her spirit sure when darkness falls
They'll meet again in Mandos' Halls
